Really?
His "passion"?
Why is it that all revolutionaries who are so "passionate about the plight of the common man" end up getting power of building an even more oppressive regime and state than the one that existed before? odd that murder on a mass scale and murdering innocent people is always a part of that "passion" for "doing whats right"
The obvious answer is that the line of bullshit that serves as the rallying cry has to be something to appeal to the fucking morons that are willing to pick up a gun and go get shot for the "passionate one"
This guy was a stone cold murderer and no better than any other armed thug with "a cause" and "the cause" is always that thing used to mask the real purpose of fighting... to gain power... and they got their wish. A lifelong dictator, creating an impoverished country, silencing and imprisoning dissidents, controlling the media etc out of that same purported "passion for the plight of the common man"
"We must say here what is a known truth, which we have always expressed before the world: firing squad executions, yes, we have executed; we are executing and we will continue to execute as long as is necessary. Our struggle is a struggle to the death."
Ernesto "Che" Guevara de la Serna
UN General Assembly, 1964
Where is the line between "passion" and "psychopathic"?
What's next? Maybe Stalin shirts will become popular and we can forget that Stalin murdered 40+ million of his own people because of his "passion". Maybe we can Mao shirts can be popular and we can forget about a "cultural revolution" that largely started by using kids to snitch on their parents and teachers and any adult or authority figure, after which, they were snatched up and disappeared. That list can go on and on and on forever.
After all, they were all about "passion" as well for the "common man".
Every brutal and oppressive government in history started with the same bullshit about "passion for the plight of the common man"... but it seems obvious, that once you have chosen to pick up a gun and start killing people, and killing innocent people, including other "common men" who happen to disagree with your political views, compassion probably isn't one of your biggest virtues or priorities.
There are few things more annoying to me than watching all of idiots in the world, in love with a t shirt and who have no idea what horrors, crimes against humanity and what suffering lie behind it... much less thought to even ponder it.

(restaurants that serve really awesome hot bread.. then bring you little frozen cubes of butter does rank slightly higher than this particular annoyance - the Armenians who bitch about remembering the "armenian genocide" but seem to be very willing to forget Armenia's own genocidal efforts against its neighbors, ranks just above the bread thing)
